<and intentionally leaves out attribution to OpenStreetMap while using Mapnik tiles outta OSMF resources>

Talking about OSM tile services: Profit-driven company websites somewhat uses standard Mapnik OSM tiles from OSMF-owned resources; discarded the credit to OSM at all at every opportunity (I know, it's just Leaflet); and provides direct links to Google Maps as well. Hmmm...  @AkuAnakTimur seems like a prime case of blocking their domain from accessing the OSMF tile server. Have you ever wondered what the longest way* in OSM is. Well now you know: it's https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/162812399, measuring nearly 16,000 km long. * using the imperfect but probably good enough method of casting a LineString geometry in WGS84 (SRID 4326) to the equivalent geography type This mapper from the Ukraine... seems to share similar thoughts with me about the values of name:en tags - mappers should not invent names in other languages. But I might agree as well with this statement: An English exonym only begins to exist when the English-speaking population of other countries starts using it, and there is written or spoken evidence of its use. Could blanket this use, say, places in Malaysia in other languages. I mean, it is less likely for a place too far south, say, in the state of Johor, to have a place name written in Thai.  Must make an excuse to divert my usual commute to work, only this week, just to collect GNSS tracks and whatnot. Must. Must. So hellooo people! We're starting off this channel, which is a semi-official team group posting thing of everyone in @openstreetmap! Every week somebody new will post... stuff... I guess, so you know who are OSMers and how diverse we are, and how your precious data gets made. Welcoming the first curator, @erin! She's amazing and brave, I saw her interviewing Steve Coast at the Antwerp conference. And now she's come to Kenya! Give it up for Erin! Tracing buildings in JOSM :josm: much even better to look more pro ... something like that. ๐  But to be fair, half the tools in osm.ng are different (and not bad like React:), and osm.org handles heavy mapping queries through a module written in C++ What is going on with Grab maps ops team? Unnecessary turn relations are being added (just let the highway links handle them) - what's with no left turn restriction created, like, at almost every junctions with such highway links?  I thought it's Grab attempting to collect fresh street level imagery with their own gear across my humble city (Alor Setar, Kedah, Malaysia). Actually... it's Apple's own fleet (yes I saw like two of them!). And I probably likely, ended up in their photo stream. No photos because I'm on a moped and it was all of a sudden. Their white Subaru cars (unknown model) has their project details slapped on the doors (in the Malay language). Dear AI Companies, instead of sneakily scraping OpenStreetMap.org, how about a tiny $10,000 donation? We'll even throw in a shiny new download link to our entire planet's geo data! Who knew it was that easy? Start here: https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/donate/ #win #ai #bots #OpenStreetMap ๐ ๐ค ๐ค  @Firefishy@osm.town Scraping OpenStreetMap. ๐คฆ First time I see that combination of words.  But wait there is more, for a $50,000 donation we'll even provide live minutely streaming updates direct from OpenStreetMap.org. #WIN #AI #Bots #OpenStreetMap When the beta label on (Apple) Maps on the web finally peels away from the "product packaging", I wonder if those who are using Apple's platform would rather stick to it, or still believes in Google Maps... "To start, Maps on the web is available only in English. Maps on the web will be available for additional browsers, platforms, and languages soon." Ah yes... my Ubuntu box with Firefox cannot reach Apple Maps Beta (on the web) @AkuAnakTimur That's weird, the Apple Maps used on duckduckgo works fine in Firefox (at least on Windows). Yes, of course, Paraguay's capital is a volcano in the Pacific Ocean (Gunung Berapi in the Malay language - both share the same name) One massive residential area and somehow you could fill all unmapped street names? Yeah. Please don't say you lifted everything from Google products... There's one time you somewhat added a business, which was closed, about 6 months (that's 3 months before you mapped it into OSM). Its listing was still available on Elgoog Maps. Somewhat one fine day I happen to drive in front of that particular business... and yes indeed. Took a photo and everything... please, just don't... |
@AkuAnakTimur If they're on OSMF tiles: have they been added to the tracker?
